estimated whp? also cam q and what'll it run These threads NEVER get old!
I'm hoping this set of parts will set me up decent...
What I have:
LPPs
mail tune
3.42s
ram air intake
3200 stall
Ran 13.1 and trapped 103 (guessing 285whp off that)
Installing:
1.6 pro mags
thinner impala gaskets
cam: 230/230 .601/.601 107 lsa
and cleaning up heads
...maybe ewp
Where's the power going to peak at?
WHP? I know the auto/stall will drop it some.
What should it run?
I'm bored. Figured I'd ask. I have my ideas of answers to all this in my head but I'm more than likely wrong.

Power should peak around 6300 or 6400 because of the LSA. You should be making 350-350 and mid 12s in the 1/4. Id either downgrade your stall or upgrade your gears with the 4K. A 3600 would work better with the 3.42s than a 4000

Is that an older Bret Bauer grind by chance?
I have had no personal experience with single pattern cams in LT1's so take this FWIW. I have yet to see an LT1 run impressive times or put down impressive numbers with a single pattern cam and stock unported heads. If it were me I would sell the cam and get something a little more appropriate that has a nice split to it. The cam you have will obviously increase performance no doubt about it but if you want to maximize your combo I would get a different cam, just my .02.
